The most dangerous part of the race is early evening and especially early morning. It's the twilight zone.

At the same time, you've got new drivers coming in and feeling their way around the circuit.

The data does not support that high-income tax cuts are the main drivers of growth, so I don't think that uncertainty over what the tax rate will be for someone that makes a million dollars a year has that big an impact on the economic growth rate in the country.

The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.

We're starting our fifth season of competition, and this is the timeframe we expected to see the growth in the series. We had to establish a foothold, and we've done that.

We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.

The problem with the data-collection procedures that I have seen discussed is that they rely on officers to report on themselves.
